‘I love my boobs in a bra, but out- no way, I am not confident around my partner without it on.’
The only drawback to bigger breasts is the design of the bras that are on offer for bigger cups sizes, such as thick straps which a lot of women feel make them look frumpy.
“The lingerie and clothes you wear can have a huge impact on the appearance of your breasts and could be the difference between whether you love or hate them. We’ve found that women really feel great fitting lingerie really is a hidden layer of confidence’
“A good, properly fitting bra can not only affect the shape of your breasts, but if size is your concern, there are plenty of ways to give the illusion of larger or smaller breasts using just the right clothes and lingerie.”
